That's good to hear, I had a grocery list of parts ordered at the beginning of Dec, and figured about a week for delivery, 10 days later after e mailing them I find out my entire order was waiting for 1 small part. I instructed them to cancel that part and ship the rest. It all went well after that but I wish I had known they were out of stock for that one item up front.

What springs did you get? And what number are the stock springs? I just got my 08 200xc this year and it came with the stock springs in a box marked 44, idk if the ones in the bike are softer or stiffer than stock.

Hi guys, those pics look nasty squid.
Im doing my top end atm, I ordered a wiseco top end kit (piston, rings gaskets).
Does anyone know if those normally include the PV gasket and o rings?
Somee pics.....

This bike is new to me so I didn't set this up.
Year: 08 Model: 200 XC
Carb size (36mm) Slide: 7
Main jet: 168. Pilot Jet: 42
Air screw (turns out): 4.5
Needle model: (KA) R1370E
Clip position:3rd
Altitude where you ride: 500'-1500'
Reeds: Boyesen
Pipe/silencer - FMF Gnarly
sprocket 14/48
Type of fuel - 50:1 synthetic
Can anyone tell me if this seems like the right ballpark? It seems to have great bottom end, which is great as I like to ride the tight n twisties.
The plug looks good, nice tan colour.
Also are these the OEM reeds? I need to replace them and the info has been washed away.

Penterating fluid and an easy out. (See pic) if the carb is off the bike and washed to remove any trace of fuel, heat the area (not the screw) with a heat gun or propane torch, this causes the metal to expand and hopefully losen the grip on the screw.
If this fails, you may be able to drill the entire screw out and re tap the hole.
(That doesn't look like a idle screw to me, or a carburetor for that matter.)
Good luck.
